SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR A PLUG AND PLAY ELECTRICAL WIRING HARNESS FOR THE CONNECTION OF A SOLAR SYSTEM TO EXISTING ELECTRICAL WIRING OF A BUILDING

摘要

Provided is a system and method for a plug and play style electrical wiring harness permitting connection of a photovoltaic solar installation to existing electrical wiring of a building. Moreover, provided is a wiring bundle providing a plurality of electrically conductive wires in a pre-defined arrangement, the wiring bundle encased by a flexible non-conductive protective covering, the wiring bundle having a first end and a second end; a first electrical plug disposed upon the first end, the first electrical plug providing at least one connector for each of the of the plurality of conductive wires within the wiring bundle, the first electrical plug structured and arranged to connect to a connector provided by the photovoltaic solar installation in only one orientation, the orientation ensuring proper electrical connection and alignment between the output lines of the photovoltaic solar installation and the wires of the wiring bundle; and a second electrical plug disposed upon the second end of the wiring bundle, the second electrical plug providing at least one connector for each of the plurality of conductive wires within the wiring bundle, the second electrical plug having a male connector with a plurality of protruding electrical conductors for insertion into an existing building power outlet and a female connector with a plurality of inset electrical conductors to receive a conductor plug intended for the existing building power outlet to which the male connector of the second plug is attached.
